Laynie Portland spirit-filled series

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 26, 2021 by David BergslandOctober 26, 2021

The Laynie Portland spirit-filled series seems like a type of book I do not read: historical fiction, character-driven, seems suspiciously like a romance. And I grew tired of spy thrillers a long time ago. Yet I loved it. In fact, … Continue reading →

Spirit-filled Superhero Jesus Boy

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 27, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 27, 2018

Tim Hurst spirit-filled fiction is a wonder

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 17, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 17, 2018

My only real complaint about Kinsman’s Tree [book 1—free] was that it was a pre-messiah spirituality. Tim Hurst spirit-filled fiction Æglet’s Answer fulfills my hope—better than I could have imagined. In a bold move, he has taken a wonderful, highly imaginative … Continue reading →

YA utopian thriller a real joy

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 17, 2017 by David BergslandOctober 17, 2017

I received a YA utopian thriller the other—an end of the Millennium thriller. Named The Final Prophet, this story of the final end of days was an uplifting joy to read. Though some might find too much teaching, the tale would … Continue reading →

The Pre-Christian Kinsmans Tree contains truth

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 27, 2017 by David BergslandJune 27, 2017

Importantly, the Pre-Christian Kinsmans Tree contains truth in enough measure to work well. This fantasy of a unique world at times seems to be allegorical Genesis. And, then again it’s pure fantasy. The Kinsman’s Tree is rich with meaning on many … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 8, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 8, 2017

As an example of Redemptive Science Fiction Firestarter is an intriguing tale. This is speculative science fiction with a core of truth—probably. As Vance says in his intro to Firestarter: “I hope I have created a story that is enjoyable to … Continue reading →
